| Well, we havae the frames and drivetrain all kindof done on our 2 little 3 lbs bots.
Now we are working on the weapons
If we don't have time before Saturday to get the wedge and/or drum finished, then we'll probably just slap on a plow or something.
It's going to be close...
We hope to make it to BARF in Tampa THIS Saturday with 2 little bots that were only on paper a week ago | |

| If we make it to barf....we'll hopefully have pics and video...
On a side note, we were having drivetrain problems, compliments of banebots....
Figured it out, so it looks better..but wasted a lot of time with the bb pos's | |

| After going through three failed motor and gearbox sets from banebots this year, I'm boycotting anything they've touched. Although, their esc's did work beautifully for some reason, I think it must have been a fluke.
When there's no one else to buy from, I guess quality isn't something you're worried about.

SenaiERI We haven't scrapped one yet (24mm) but we had to do some mods to get them to work with our little bots. We made Ti shafts and took the slop out of the gearboxes...lookd good so far, but only battle testing will tell the whole story | |
